Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Tommy was just about to continue tracking the Frostwolf leader when he peeked out and found that the leader had already vanished.

Just as Tommy was about to search for its tracks, the Body Refining Wizard's powerful senses alerted him, and he noticed the huge black shadow beneath his feet. Tommy quickly rolled to the right.

The next second, the Frostwolf leader fell from above where Tommy had just been.

"boom--"

The large claws slammed into the snow, shattering it with tremendous force, sending countless stones and snowflakes hurtling outwards.

Fortunately, Tommy was fast enough that only some stones hit him, but then the Frostwolf leader looked up and spat a 2-meter-long ice blade at Tommy.

This ice blade was longer and thicker than the previous one, indicating that the Frostwolf leader had not used his full strength.

Tommy got up and, seeing that he couldn't dodge, prepared to take the hit head-on. He took a deep breath, and the lightning element in his hands increased, with dense lightning covering his entire palms, constantly overflowing and crackling in the air.

With both hands outstretched, Tommy caught the ice blade head-on. Tommy's steps faltered slightly as he stood frozen in place with the ice blade, the ice element on the blade constantly clashing with the lightning element in Tommy's hands.

Upon seeing this, the Frostwolf leader rushed towards Tommy, preparing to deliver a fatal blow. Although continuing to spit ice blades would be safer, there was no time left to absorb magic power.

Because the Frostwolf leader had noticed that its own kind was about to be wiped out by the other four humans, it had to deal with the humans in front of it immediately before it could help its own kind.

Seeing the Frostwolf leader approach, Tommy suddenly exerted force with both hands.

"Click—"

He snapped the ice blade in two, and a large amount of lightning gathered beneath his feet. He bent his knees and exerted force, his body shooting up into the air like an arrow.

Suddenly, Tommy's upward momentum abruptly reversed, mimicking the Frostwolf leader's attack earlier, and plummeted straight towards its target with a whistling sound.

The Frostwolf leader knew what he was going to do and sped away to the side, while Tommy crashed heavily to the ground.

At the same time, the accumulated lightning on his body erupted, leaving dazzling streaks of lightning in his wake and forming a huge spherical electric field.

The Frostwolf leader did not escape the electric field's range. The spherical electric field instantly enveloped it, and its entire body was struck by dense lightning. Its massive body stiffened abruptly, and its silvery-white fur instantly exploded.

"Aww!!"

With a mournful howl, its massive body fell heavily backward, its limbs still twitching uncontrollably. A burnt smell filled the air, and the once majestic Frost Wolf leader was now covered in fine purple arcs of electricity.

The wolf's eyes, which had once gleamed with a cold light, had lost their sharpness and were now only dim with the light of impending death.

After confirming that the Frostwolf leader was completely still, Tommy stepped forward and snapped its neck. The Frostwolf leader's eyes lost focus, and it stopped breathing.

Meanwhile, the other four second-class wizard apprentices also finished their battle. In the later stages of the battle, their magic power was almost depleted, and they all had some injuries. Only the apprentice wearing the flying wizard's tool was completely unharmed.

The group began collecting the spoils, with the biggest find undoubtedly being the Frostwolf leader. Although its fur had been scorched by Tommy's electric field, only the fur was burned; the pelt itself was largely unharmed, so it remained relatively intact overall.

The apprentice wearing the flying magic tool landed slowly and began to deal with the Frostwolf corpses, saying as he did so, "Thanks to my elder brother for taking care of the Frostwolf leader, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape its ice blades."

The apprentice, clad in heavy armor, chuckled, "From now on, I'll be relying on Brother Tommy. Remember to call me next time you're on a mission..."

"Whoosh—Bang!"

A tremendous sound resounded in everyone's ears. It was the apprentice in heavy armor whose head had been shattered into pieces, the fragments of his skull falling to the ground mixed with his brains.

"Puff puff—thump"

Blood gushed from the wound on his neck, and the headless corpse knelt helplessly on the ground.

The thing that smashed his head was a hand covered in scales, and the crowd hadn't yet seen the true face of the hand's owner.

"Whoosh!" — "Plop... thud"

Another apprentice died, his upper body was cut off, and a large amount of blood gushed out, splattering onto the apprentice next to him. The apprentice's robes were stained red with blood, and even his face was not spared.

But the monster seemed to ignore the apprentice beside it, and instead began to eat the upper half of the apprentice in its hand. It seemed to be enjoying the meal, as the apprentice's flesh was clearly more delicious than that of the heavily armored apprentice.

The apprentice, whose eyes had been splattered with blood, wiped the blood from his eyes and glanced at them.

"Aaaaaah!! Monster!!"

The apprentice was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, extending his right hand, about to unleash a fireball at his opponent...

"Snap!" — "Aaaaaah!!"

The apprentice's right hand was severed at the root, interrupting the spellcasting process and causing the sorcery runes to surge wildly in his consciousness. A sharp pain shot through his mind, and soon his head was smashed by the opponent.

Tommy sensed something was wrong when he saw this. Every body-refining wizard is a container for storing elements. In battle, they directly control the elements within their bodies to violently bombard their opponents.

After all, the close-quarters and fast-paced attacks made it difficult for them to have any openings to draw spell runes, but he had already used up a lot of his stored elements in the battle with the Frostwolf leader.

Defeating the monster in front of him was impossible, so Tommy gritted his teeth, forced out the remaining lightning element from his body, and ran towards the academy at a speed several times faster than usual.

As Tommy ran, a sharp pain shot through his neck. Then, he saw a body enveloped in purple lightning running forward. Strangely, this body had no head...

"Smack!"

The enormous foot crushed Tommy's skull, the fragments blending into the snow.

The apprentice wearing the flying magic tool was frozen in fear, and in less than a minute, three experienced second-class wizard apprentices were brutally murdered.

He only heard the crackling of lightning when he turned around and saw that his own older brother had already fled. Realizing that even his brother, a third-class wizard apprentice, was running away in panic, he quickly activated the flying wizarding device on his body.

Two metal wings popped out from his back, and the blue runes on the wings lit up, propelling him slowly into the air and flying into the distance.

This flying magical artifact is only a level zero high-grade magical artifact, which can only make him fly 20 meters off the ground, and the speed is extremely slow.

He had forgotten that he was flying towards the academy, but even if he had realized it, it would have been too late, as a ray of cold air shot towards his wing.

"Bang—"

The icy ray blasted one of the wings apart, creating a massive explosion that sent the apprentice tumbling down.

……

The apprentice team, who had just been chatting and laughing, vanished completely into the cold forest.
